After spending some time working on it, EuphoricMB is open for business. I opened it on the 23rd, but decided to wait a few days before announcing it. But yea, its open – go post will you? I’m currently holding a contest for all members, the most active referrals by March 31st gets you a free domain and hosting, so go post your hearts out and refer everyone you know.

So I’ve worked all my taxes out for AGn Solutions. I’m going to owe a little over $1,300 to the government. This is fine considering I assumed that much anyway. I’m still waiting on my W2 from Source-1 and I know I’ll owe maybe $600 – so yea no laptop for a few months.

I’m going to go full speed a head with redoing my room though. It’s time to do something completely for me around this house and damn it I’m going to abuse that. The new monitor, digital camera, rug, bedding, paint color on the walls and furniture will just make me a happy, happy person. Anyone want to come help me paint? I’ll cook for you.

I’m currently in the process of getting February’s theme completed. I have a ‘photo shoot’ (so to speak) with Bella tomorrow to get some great pictures of her to use on it. The theme and content are all completed but the images I used of her are a little out dated and she looks a bit scruffy. By looking at her pictures you’d think that she’s never been brushed before, but I do seriously brush her on a daily basis; she just rolls around a lot. BUT – I’ll have the new layout up on the first, so that’ll be when I next update my blog.

On Saturday the 4th I’ll be at my aunt’s house. She’s going to the city overnight for some big super bowl party and won’t be home until late Sunday evening, so I get to house sit. I really don’t mind it considering I’ll be occupied anyway. I should be getting my American Government module this week so I’ll have something to work on. With the way the weather’s been lately I’ll be able to hang out on the back porch and relax for a while too. According to the report it’s going to be about 50° so it makes perfect sense to hang out back there, doesn’t it?

Miranda has been keeping me company tonight. The boy went to bed early, Heather & Christie weren’t online and I needed someone to bother, so she won. YAY Miranda! Go give her a smooch.

On another note, Happy Birthday Ranee!! Go give her loads of comments and b-day wishes.

Bella’s being extra annoying to get me to go lay down with her so I’m going to shut down for the night. See you Wednesday!

Although I was very happy to be purchasing my laptop within the next two weeks, I decided it would be a better idea to hold off on it for another month. I’ve got a solid couple of months worth of work lined up so money isn’t an issue, I just think I could spend it on other things that are a bit more important.

I’ll be doing my taxes within the next couple of weeks and I’m almost positive I’ll owe money instead of receive it, so I’m going to be putting all the money aside just for this reason. If I don’t have to pay much, I’ll be purchasing an LCD. The reason for wanting a laptop originally was so I could regain my desk space. I’ve got a HUGE 19″ CRT monitor taking up more then half of the desk, and although I absolutely love my monitor its just too big for me to handle anymore, especially with school. After talking to Joe, I’m going to get this one. It’s a downgrade to a 17″ but it honestly won’t be much different then what I’ve got. A CRT, even a 19″ is only about 18″ of viewable space where as a 17″ LCD is the full 17″ so in reality I’m only losing about an inch of viewing space, and that’s fine with me considering I’m gaining more then half a desk in return and it’ll be a lot easier on my eyes since I won’t be right on top of the monitor anymore.

I’ll also be purchasing a new digital camera, because the one I want is only about $150 and that’s really not such a bad deal considering its 5mpxl. I’ll have to retire my current digital, maybe I’ll just give it to my sister I don’t know. It only works in a well lit room, even though its a 4mpxl. The flash doesn’t work on it so it’s useless at night and that’s when I’d like to take more pictures considering that’s when the most shit seems to happen around here. There’s something about that moon.

When I know for sure what’s going on with the money, I’ll go ahead and purchase those two things. Then I’ll be doing some rearranging in my room. It’s time to update the paint and maybe get rid of the rug (it’s an area rug, not like wall to wall or anything so its easy to remove). I think if I were to just redo my room instead of go out and get a laptop, I could hold off on getting one until the end of the year when I plan to move out of here. I want to paint my desk and dresser so that they match. I’ll paint the walls white and get rid of this damn lavender color and then pull in a rug that’s the same color as the paint on the furniture, which I’m thinking of doing in black. I vacuum twice a week anyway so its not like I’d have to worry about the rug getting too dirty looking anyway, cause I know EVERYTHING shows up on a black rug.

I guess I’ll just have to see what happens when I head to H&R Block next week…huh?

I’m feeling a little bit better. I could still use a few more days of bed rest but I just have way too much to do so that’s not an option right now. I picked up some really, really big clients this week so I’ll be purchasing a laptop by the end of this month, something to be happy about considering I still can’t breathe through my nose.

The weather has had me a bit concerned. We got up to 63° today. It’s January for crying out loud. New York isn’t supposed to be this warm. Right now though, it’s very windy outside so it seems a bit chilly but its still 59° so who knows what’s going on there. We were supposed to get rain but that passed right over us, now it’s clear nights for the next couple of days. I really hope that it isn’t like this all winter, that can only mean some very – very hot weather for this summer and I hate heat!

I spent the bulk of the week working on some templates, but also doing my homework. I’m a little big pissed off at myself because no matter how hard I tried, and long I worked, I still only got an 85 on the test. I know some of you are like “but 85′s good…”, no its really not when you’re averaging a 98 for the entire school year. So yea, I’m upset with myself. I’ll get over it but hopefully my average won’t be brought down even more with this Chemistry one.

Joe’s on his way up here right now, he’s going to be helping me with the Chemistry. Heather helped me out with the first few questions but unfortunately I’m still not grasping the whole concept of Chemistry. I can’t believe there are people who actually know every aspect of balancing equations and atom properties and all that shit I don’t understand. Congrats to anyone who can figure this stuff out, you’re definitely better then me when it comes to this stuff. denounces her throne:

In any event; I have to straighten up the house a little bit, this way when Joe gets here the place doesn’t look trashed. I also have to start preparing dinner so we can head to the store quick and pick up the rest of the stuff. He helps me with chemistry and gets a free meal out of it, that’s got to count for something – right?

Later all

…and still sick as a dog. I’ve been very busy working, as well as doing my homework so I just haven’t had the drive to blog.

Thanks for all the “get well” emails, I’ll respond to them when I get the chance.

I’ll have a longer entry eventually, hopefully this’ll stop Ranee from sending out a search party.

Night all.

My sister went to the hospital the other night. She was getting some really, really bad cough attacks. To the point that she was driving everyone crazy to the point of wanting to rip her throat out so there could be peace and quiet in the house again. After two hours of dealing with rude nurses and a doctor that was so fresh out of medical school the ink wasn’t dry on the diploma, she was diagnosed with Bronchitis. She’s got meds for it, I don’t because I’m no longer covered under my dads insurance and an E.R. visit without insurance is 2g’s that I don’t have. Being as her and I share the same symptoms (only mine are a bit worse) it’s obvious that we’ve both got the same thing.

I think I get worse as the days go on. I’m self-medicating with Dayquil and Nyquil just to help me through the congestion. I’m not really coughing very much but thanks to having to blow my nose as much as I am, I’ve got nose bleeds up the wahoo that I just can’t seem to kick. There’s enough DNA in my garbage bin to link me to quite a few crimes on Long Island.

I picked up a few decent clients this week so I’ll be able to afford all the medication I’ll need until I can get rid of this damn bronchitis. I’ve been spoiling myself with iced tea and peppermint life savers. Why? Because sick people have bad breath and not even brushing three times a day can fix it. I bought my sister a bag of life savers too.

For now, I’m going to curl up with my book and hopefully fall asleep within the next hour because my eyes are burning so bad I’m afraid they’re going to melt out of my head.

Night all
